Ocean acidification and other aspects of global climate change are about to alter the food web — with consequences for all life on earth.

Michigan State students note how Willie Soon now refutes research indicating adverse impacts from ocean acidification, a global crisis that is married to climate change (both problems stem from humans burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere).

Projected impacts of global warming and ocean acidification motivated this action, but as marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson eloquently writes in a New York Times op - ed: «climate change really is only half the story.»

A large ensemble of Earth system model simulations, constrained by geological and historical observations of past climate change, demonstrates our self ‐ adjusting mitigation approach for a range of climate stabilization targets ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 °C, and generates AMP scenarios up to year 2300 for surface warming, carbon emissions, atmospheric CO2, global mean sea level, and surface ocean acidification.

The symptoms from those events (huge and rapid carbon emissions, a big rapid jump in global temperatures, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, widespread oxygen - starved zones in the oceans) are all happening today with human - caused climate change.

Ocean acidification could devastate coral reefs and other marine ecosystems even if atmospheric carbon dioxide stabilizes at 450 ppm, a level well below that of many climate change forecasts, report chemical oceanographers Long Cao and Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Sea level rise, ocean acidification and the rapid melting of massive ice sheets are among the significantly increased effects of human - induced global warming assessed in the survey, which also examines the emissions of heat - trapping gases that are causing the climate change.

The symptoms from those events (a big, rapid jump in global temperatures, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification) are all happening today with human - caused climate change.

«Like climate change, ocean acidification is a growing global problem that will intensify with continued carbon dioxide emissions and has the potential to change marine ecosystems and affect benefits to society,» the report said.

«[The research] demonstrates that proposed technological solutions, like CDR, to the problems of global warming and ocean acidification are no substitute for reducing carbon emissions, which remains the safest and most reliable path for avoiding dangerous climate change.»

The search was performed with no restrictions on publication year, using different combinations of the terms: (acidification * AND ocean *) OR (acidification * AND marine *) OR (global warming * AND marine *) OR (global warming * AND ocean *) OR (climate change * AND marine * AND experiment *) OR (climate change * AND ocean * AND experiment *).

If global warming continues unchecked, it will cause significant climate change, a rise in sea levels, increasing ocean acidification, extreme weather events and other severe natural and societal impacts, according to NASA, the EPA and other scientific and governmental bodies.

Subsistence fishermen face an uncertain future, marked by climate change and ocean acidification and global overfishing, and they suspect things are only going to get worse.

I believe the strong role of anthropogenic contributions to climate change with potentially significant adverse impacts (global warming and ocean acidification) is well documented by a large array of independent evidence.

It has been suggested that a top - down allocation approach is more appropriate for boundaries where human activities exert a direct impact on the Earth (that is, climate change, ocean acidification, ozone depletion and chemical pollution), while a multiscale approach is more appropriate for boundaries that are spatially heterogeneous (that is biogeochemical flows, freshwater use, land - system change, biodiversity loss and aerosol loading).8 Even with a top - down approach and a single global boundary, however, allocation is fraught with difficult ethical issues.

The need to encourage people to understand exactly how important these corals are also appears to be a major factor in battling global warming, climate change and this acidification that is changing the oceans.

The planetary boundaries hypothesis, first introduced by a group of leading earth scientists in a 2009 article in Nature, posits that there are nine global, biophysical limits to human welfare: climate change, ocean acidification, the ozone layer, nitrogen and phosphate levels, land use change (the conversion of wilderness to human landscapes like farmland or cities), biodiversity loss, chemical pollutants, and particulate pollution in the atmosphere.
